MillerTube® Geotextile Tube

Geotextile tubes are strong, durable, and versatile geosynthetics used to protect and reinforce shorelines and other areas. They are made from a polyester or polypropylene geotextile material and are filled with sand or soil to provide a tough, flexible barrier against water, erosion, and wave action. They are easy to install, require no maintenance, and can last up to 20 years. Geotextile tubes are an excellent, cost-effective solution for shoreline protection and other projects.

MillerTube® Geotextile Tube

Geotextile tubes are large, tube-shaped bags made of porous, weather-resistant geotextile and filled with a sand slurry, to form an artificial coastal structure such as a breakwaters, dune or levee.

Geotextile tubes are also installed for land reclamation and temporarily installed during the dewatering phase of a dredging operation.


Geotextile tubes are made from a variety of materials, including polypropylene, polyester, and polyethylene. The type of material used will depend on the specific application. Geotextile tubes are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. The size and shape of the tube will depend on the specific application. The thickness of the tube will depend on the load-bearing requirements.


Geotextile tubes are installed in a variety of ways. The method of installation will depend on the specific application. Geotextile tubes can be installed by hand or by machine.

Geotextile tubes are a versatile and effective erosion control solution. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses to meet the specific needs of any project. Geotextile tubes are easy to install and can be used in a variety of applications.


Here are some of the features of geotextile tubes:

  • Durable:      Geotextile tubes are made from strong, durable materials that can      withstand harsh environmental conditions.

  • Permeable:      Geotextile tubes are permeable, which allows water to flow through them,      preventing the buildup of water pressure.

  • Cost-effective:      Geotextile tubes are a cost-effective erosion control solution.

  • Easy to      install: Geotextile tubes are easy to install, even by unskilled workers.

  • Versatile:      Geotextile tubes can be used in a variety of applications, including      coastal erosion control, land reclamation, and dewatering.


Here are some of the uses of geotextile tubes:

  • Coastal erosion      control: Geotextile tubes can be used to create artificial dunes and      breakwaters to protect shorelines from erosion.

  • Land      reclamation: Geotextile tubes can be used to create new land from      reclaimed wetlands or other areas.

  • Dewatering:      Geotextile tubes can be used to dewater construction sites and other areas      where water is a problem.

  • Erosion      control: Geotextile tubes can be used to prevent erosion on slopes and      other areas where soil is: Geotextile tubes can be used to filter water      and prevent sediment from clogging pipes and other invulnerable to      movement.

  • Filtration infrastructure.


Geotextile tubes are a versatile and effective erosion control solution that can be used in a variety of applications. They are durable, permeable, cost-effective, easy to install, and versatile.
